MBA Business Economics & Public Policy at University of Pennsylvania

University of Pennsylvania, United States

Programme overview

The Business Economics and Public Policy major equips future business leaders with the tools to analyze incentives and policies of firms, governments, and consumers. Whether a firm is engaged in real estate development, bringing new products to market, developing new technologies, exporting products, addressing environmental issues, or providing infrastructure services, it will need to be familiar with the incentives of competitors and the role of government so that it can understand which actions it can take, and how other actors will respond. The major offers students to apply the best economic techniques for understanding corporate decision making and formulating public policy.
